Family recipe for turkey on the braai.
A braai is similar to what is called a barbeque and in South Africa, we love our braais.
I would like to share a recipe for a turkey braai. So you can enjoy a relaxing day in the outdoors yet still retain the turkey tradition.
Merry Christmas from a proudly South african woman.
